When something wrong has been said publicly, it must be corrected publicly. You must correct the error, reverse the trouble, and neutralize the poison that was spread.
You go around saying something serious about someone, then you later find out it was false. You don’t just go privately and say, “Sorry.” That is not correction. That is you protecting yourself while the other person continues to suffer.
You go back to the same places you spread it and say clearly, “It was false.”
Most people will not do that. They would rather protect themselves and allow another person to be destroyed. You have already poisoned minds. A quiet apology cannot fix a loud lie.
In the law of God, when someone lies against another and is found out, whatever would have been done to the accused is what is done to the one who lied. (Deuteronomy 19:18-19). That is how serious false witness is.
And it is not only deliberate lies. Even spreading what you have not verified is dangerous. You were given something, you did not test it, yet you went around giving it to others. Then you say, “I didn’t know.”
Why didn’t you wait? Why didn’t you confirm?
Scripture says be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger (James 1:19). But many people hear something, get angry, and immediately begin to talk.
Ask yourself: What if I’m wrong? Many people don’t care when they are wrong. That is the problem.
